We'll do this on in G. Even though it's not fast, it's full of tricks, and we'll cover the whole neck before it's over!

Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.
